It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.<ref name="nris"/>
==History and architectural features== This district includes thirty-two contributing buildings, one contributing site, and two contributing structures that are located in the crossroads village of Spring Valley. They include a variety of residential, commercial, and institutional buildings, some of which are representative of the vernacular Georgian and Federal styles.
The residential buildings are predominantly two-and-one-half-story, stuccoed stone structures, some of which date to the mid-eighteenth century. Notable buildings include the Upper Mill or Spring Valley Mill (c. 1740), the Lower Mill (c. 1820), a blacksmith and wheelwright shop, a cooperage, a store, and two inns—the "Neff's Tavern" and Temperance Inn (c. 1838). The contributing structures are the Spring Valley Mill Dam and a stone arch bridge.<ref name=nrhpdoc>{{cite report|type=none|url=https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71994827 |title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Pennsylvania SP Spring Valley Historic District|publisher=National Archives and Records Administration |author= Judith H.
